selecting rows for inclusion in lm
I am having trouble selecting rows of a dataframe that will be included in a regression. I am trying to select those rows for which the variable Meno equals PRE. I have used the code below: difffitPre<-lm(data[,"diff"]~data[,"Age"]+data[,"Race"],data=data[data[,"Meno"]=="PRE",]) summary(difffitPre) The output from the summary indicates that

Recalling and printing multiple graphs. Is there something in the HISTORY menu that will help?
I have written an R function that produces multiple graphs. I use par(ask=TRUE) to allow for the inspection of each graph before the next graph is drawn. I am looking for a way to recall all graphs drawn in an R session, and a method that can be used to print all the graphs at one time. I know that I could simply print each graph after I inspect the graph, but this gets tiresome if one's

Problem dropping rows based on values in a column
I am trying to drop rows of a dataframe based on values of the column PID, but my strategy is not working.

macro facility in R
R 2.2 on windows XP I have a dataset with multiple columns. Some of the columns represent independent variables, some represent dependent variables. I would like to run the same analyses on a fixed set of independent variables, changing only the dependent variable, e.g. y1-y2=x1+x2+x3 y3-y4=x1+x2+x3 y5-y6=x1+x2+x3, etc. I know I can write a function to perform the analyses, however in order to

Simulation with R
An apparatus exists whereby a collection of balls is displaced to the top of a stack by suction. A top level (Level 1) each ball is shifted 1 unit to the left or 1 unit to the right at random with equal probability. The ball then drops down to level 2. At Level 2, each ball is again shifted 1 unit to the left or 1 unit to the right at random. The process continues for 15 levels and the balls are

regression analyses using a vector of means and a variance-covariance matrix
R 2.2.0 windows XP How can I perform a regression analyses using a vector of means, a variance-covariance matrix? I looked at the help screen for lm and did not see any option for using the afore mentioned structures as input to lm.

Packages - a great resource, but hard to find the right one.
Fellow Rers, Please forgive me if I have posted this to the wrong R list serve. Over the course of the years that I have used R and participated in this list server, I have noted a large number of questions and answers that direct people to specific packages. The multitude of packages is one of the great strengths of R. Unfortunately there is no (or at least I am not aware of) any single source

apply, t-test and p-values
R 2.7.2 Windows XP I am using apply to compute a series of Student's t-test from two matrices, sample1 and sample2. boo<-apply(sample1,1,t.test,sample2) I want to pick of the p-values from the tests, but can't seem to get it to work. I have tried several methods to get the values including: boo<-apply(sample1,1,t.test$t.test,sample2) boo<-apply(sample1,1,t.test,sample2)$t.test

CSV file and date. Dates are read as factors!
I am using read.csv to read a CSV file (produced by saving an Excel file as a CSV file). The columns containing dates are being read as factors. Because of this, I can not compute follow-up time, i.e. Followup<-postDate-preDate. I would appreciate any suggestion that would help me read the dates as dates and thus allow me to calculate follow-up time. Thanks John John Sorkin M.D., Ph.D. Chief,

emacs and R
At the suggestion of many people, I have installed emacs on my linux (Fedora 8.0) computer with the intention of using emacs as window interface to R (2.6.0). I have gone though the emacs tutorial and don't see any information about how I should use emacs to run R. Can anyone suggest a document that I might read? In the past I have used R on a Windows XP system and used the built-in windowing

solution to a regression with multiple independent variable
Please forgive a statistics question. I know that a simple bivariate linear regression, y=f(x) or in R parlance lm(y~x) can be solved using the variance-covariance matrix: beta(x)=covariance(x,y)/variance(x). I also know that a linear regression with multiple independent variables, for example y=f(x,z) can also be solved using the variance-covariance matrix, but I don't know how to do this.

Binary outcome with non-absorbing outcome state
I am trying to model data in which subjects are followed through time to determine if they fall, or do not fall. Some of the subjects fall once, some fall several times. Follow-up time varies from subject to subject. I know how to model time to the first fall (e.g. Cox Proportional Hazards, Kaplan-Meir analyses, etc.) but I am not sure how I can model the data if I include the data for those

Dividing a vector into ntiles
R 2.1.1 Win 2k Would someone suggest a method (or methods) that can be used to determine ntile cutpoints of a vector, i.e. to determine values that can be used to divide a vector into thirds such as 0-33 centile, 34-66 centile, 67-100 centile. If for example I had a vector: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and wanted to divide the vector into thirds I would have cut-points of 3, and 6. Thanks, John John

Multivariable correlation
Given a square matrix of variables X, is there any way to compute a multivariable correlation among all the variables in the array? It is possible to calculate the correlation of all pairs of variables in the array, but I want to know the correlation of all the variables taken together, i.e. for the matrix X=x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 x8 x9 I don't want the pair-wise correlations

Looking for transformation to overcome heterogeneity ofvariances
Peter You question is difficult to answer without more information about the distribution of your residuals. Different residual patterns call for different transformations to stabilize the variance. One very common form of heterocedasticity is increasing variance with increasing values of an independent predictor, i.e. the variance of the residuals of y=x increase as x increases. In this case a
